Is Generic Gatifloxacin as Good as Zymaxid?

All generic medications must undergo certain tests to compare them to brand-name medications. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) then looks at these tests to decide if the generics are equivalent to the brand-name medications and assigns a rating to each one.

An "AT" rating means that the FDA has determined that a generic medication is equivalent to a brand-name medication. Generic gatifloxacin has an "AT" rating, meaning it should be equivalent to Zymaxid.

However, generic medications are allowed to have different inactive ingredients than the brand-name medication. This might include fillers, dyes, or other ingredients that may cause problems for people with allergies or sensitivities.
